 * I created a child theme for the custom theme here – [http://teamwesports.com/](http://teamwesports.com/)–
   but the css for my child isn’t loading.
 * child CSS:
 * /*
    Theme Name: Team WE Child Theme URI: [http://teamwesports.com/](http://teamwesports.com/)
   Description: Team WE Child Theme Author: Justin Near Author URI: [http://nearestpublishing.com](http://nearestpublishing.com)
   Template: TeamWETheme-1 Version: 1.0.0 */
 * /* =Imports styles from the parent theme
    ————————————————————– */ [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)
   url(‘../TeamWETheme-1/style.css’);
 * The header.php on the original theme calls the stylesheet url:
 * <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>”>
 * And I gave the server a couple of days to process (the CSS for the child theme
   was saved on Sunday).
 * What am I doing wrong?

 * Check the folder name of the parent theme. Folder names are case sensitive.

 * Not it 🙂 It was copied and pasted, and is the same in both the folder location
   and in the css – “/wp-content/themes/TeamWETheme-1/style.css”
 * There are several other style sheets mentioned in the header (though the particular
   style that I want to change is in the main style.css) – would those be interfering
   somehow?
 *     ```
       <?php if ( is_front_page() || is_404()) { ?>
       		<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/css/home.css">
       	<?php } ?>
   
       	<?php if ( is_front_page() || is_page_template('blog.php') || is_single() || is_404()) { ?>
       		<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/css/blog.css">
       	<?php } ?>	
   
       	<?php if ( is_page_template('page-landing.php' || 'page-bio.php' || 'page-progdetail.php' || 'page-wide.php' || 'page-schedule.php') || is_front_page() )	{ ?>
       		<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/css/subpage.css">
       	<?php } ?>
   
       	<?php if ( is_page_template('page-schedule.php') )	{ ?>
       		<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/css/schedule.css">
       	<?php } ?>
   
       	<?php if ( is_page_template('page-secondary.php') || is_page('contact'))	{ ?>
       		<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/css/secondary-pgs.css">
       	<?php } ?>
   
       	<?php if ( is_page('store') )	{ ?>
       		<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/css/store.css">
       	<?php } ?>

 * Why do you think it’s not working? Try adding this to the child theme style.css
   file:
 *     ```
       body {
          border: 2px solid red;
       }
       ```

 * The child theme’s CSS file is loading. I’ll bet you don’t think it’s loading 
   because when you examine the **#content** DIV using Chrome DevTools, it doesn’t
   show the CSS rule from your child theme, but the problem is you have a syntax
   error. Instead of **@media-screen**, it should be **[@media](https://wordpress.org/support/users/media/)
   screen**; take out the hyphen between **[@media](https://wordpress.org/support/users/media/)**
   and **screen**.
